FIGHTING PLEURO-PSEUMONlA.
The West Virginia State Fair AsSOcia-
ton, ut their meeting on Tusday, asked
our Congressman to vote for the passage OF
the MILLER bill for the c~Xtirpation OF
plcuro-pneumonia and other contagious
diseases among cattle.
Owing to the havoc Of this terrible dis
ease among cattle in Texas, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and other States, Of late years, and
the defective State laws and lack Of coop
Grafton among State and local authorities,
it is evident that Congress must do some
thing or the cattle raising industry will be
greatly imperiled if not almost destroyed.
The cattle industry Of this country rep
reSentS an investment of two thousand
millions If dollars OF taxable property.
Yet ifpleurO-pneumonia does not receive
heroic treatment this industry may suffer
the fate it did in Australia and South
Africa.
Senator WARNER MILLER and RepreS-
entatiye JOSEPH VI. CAREY have intro
duced into Congress bills that provide for
a commission appointed by the Govern
ment which shall be entrusted with full
powers 10 deal with contagious diseases
among cattle, establish quarantine, seize
and slaughter infected animals and wage
wal TO the knife against the disease in all
parts OF the Union. There is no doubt
whatever that such 4 measure is Of vast
Importance to this very important in
dnStrY.

riOuS Injury.
SyscUi Correspondence CfRe Register.
CAIRO, w. Va, January 4.-Fire was
discovered in what is known rs the ''old
Horn building" in Cairo, on New Years
the building and some Gifts contents. The
building was one of the oldest in town,
and at the time of burning had 4 shoe
makers shop, grocery, railroad office. aud
4 GROCERY, all within its walls. Some
person passing the building discovered an
unusual amount Of sInOke in the room
which was occupied by the shoemaker,
and going in found the shoemaker, Mike
McQuinn, lying on his bed, which was on
fire. He was so intoxicated that he could
do nothing for himself and had TO be taken
out. Several others began to rid the
house of its contents, and succeeded in
taking out almost all the valuable things.
Next the railroad office was cleared of its
contents and everything, il is thought that
was valuable, except a money safe, was
taken out a safe distance from the dreadful
flames, which were then beginning to leap
into the air and lighting the surrounding
country like day. If the wind had been
blowing the large hotel, owned by Mr.
Merchant, could not have escaped the
flames, but as it was it was very difficult
to keep the house from catching. as the
heat was so intense. Yet with hard work
and plenty OF water the hotel was saved.
There was no insurance on the building
that was burnt. The reflection of the
flames was seen in every town in the
county and persons living off a distance
came in the town long before the flames
had spent their fury.
James McGhee, q young man residing
with his father on Nutter Fork, has been
going TO O school house quite frequently
and mt recess and noon was in the habit of
stealing a kiss from some OF the pupils of
the female persuasion. Silas HOtf, the
teacher, upon hearing this resolved to put
a stop to it at once and James was mott
fed of the fact, and being OF a very pas
sionate disposition he resolved To have
vengeance on the teacher. On Tuesday,
January 1. McGhee went TO the school
house and called the teacher ont, and Just
rs he steppd from thedOOr McGhee stabbed
him in the side, infiCting serious if not
fatal wounds on the teacher. 1t is report
ed that McGhee has left the country.

because, in the first place, there Is a

quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has large assortment
OF blankets, white. colOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5

good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you

others have done, that you get good bar

sion OF semi-ollicial character he as
sursd the Italian people that his govern
ment would be government OF liberty,
both civil and religious, and that In re-
turn he would ask from the people devO-
tion to law and respect for justice. Re-
ferring to the pronunciamentoes OF the
vatican, he affirmed the tolerance OF the
nation and said than In any emergency
he would not hesitate to appeal TO the
people for support. The statesman who
pronounces In favor of the largest pos

on the intelligent patriotism Of the peO-

not be very badly left in any emergency

THE ANARCHISTS ARGUMENT.
The argument before the supreme
court at Washington in the case Of the
condemned anarchists was opened by
the Hon. J. Randolph Tucker, yester-
day, In an able and lengthy speech in
support of the petition for writ OF er-
ror. He was followed by Attorney
General Hunt OF Illinois, who had not
concluded his argument in behalf OF the
people when court adjourned. The at
torney general resumes his argument
this morning, Gen. Butler will follow
in behalf of the condemned, and AttOr-
ney Grinnell will close the argument,
after which the case will be taken under
sdvisement. 1t not is probable that the
decision will be rendered this week. The
point raised by Fucker was, that the con-
stitutiOn had been violated in securing
conviction for the prisoners, and that the
verdict was really the sentence OF q
lynch court under the formula OF q reg
ularly constituted court Of justice Gen.
Hunts.srguBent was to the effect that,
unless federal question was involved,
the federal courts had no jurisdiction in
the case. The argument Is purely tech.
nical on both sides, the one conteuding
that a strained and erroneous ConstruC.
tion of law was resorTed to and permit
ted by the Illinois courts in order %
secure conviction, and the other deny
ing the allegation thus made. The case
is now before the supreme tribunal of
American justice and the whole country
is to be congratulated upon this fact
Whatever the result, the public may
rest assured that this case and the fate
Of these men will be decided according
to law and the testimony, and that the
verdict will not be rendered upon any
other grounds. 1t is only question Of
the establishment Of their guilt in strict
compliance with legal forms, or the Cs-
Establishment of the reverse. The lives
Of these q en- are not demanded on any
other ground than that they have been
proven guilty Of murder and of conspir-
acy to murder, both OF which
crimes, according to the statutes
Of the state OF Illinois, are punish
able with death. If they have not COM
mitted either of these crimes their
death is not demanded according to law
and cannot be justified upon any other
pretense. While saying this the LIGHT
does not abate one jOt or title of it's OPP
position to capital punishment per g..
The LIGHT hOlds,a it ever will hold that
hanging man is a very poor use to put
him to. 1t does say, however, that so
long as the death penalty is in force
these men should suffer the same pun.
ishment for their crime Of murder as ia
melted out to other murderers, and that
1t should be clearly understood that kill.
ing by deli6erp tie resolution OF secret
society to hurl dynamite bombs into The
ranks Of police force, is just as much
murder as though each dead policeman
had been personally sought out and
assassinated.

A BusIness-Like Offer.

For many years the manufacturers of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered, in good
faith, $500 reward for a case of Nasal Catarrh,
which they cannot cure. The remedy is sold
by druggists at only 80 cents. This wonder.
full remedy has fairly attained worldwide
reputation. If you have dull, heavy head.
ache, obstruction of the nasal passages, dis.
charges falling from the head into the throat
sometimes pTOtuse, watery and acIid, at
others, thick, tenacious, weak, watery and in
famed; If there is ringing in the ears, deaf
ness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat,
eXpectoratiOn of offensive matter, together
with scabs from ulcers; the voice being
changed and has nasal twang; the breath Of
fenstVe; smell and taste impaired; sensation
of dizziness, with mental depression, hacking
cough and general debility, you are suffering
from nasal Catarrh. The more complicated
your disease, the greater the number and di-
versity of symptoms. Thousands of cases an
nually, without manfesting half of the above
symptoms, result in consumption, and end in
the grave. No disease is so common, more de-
ceptive and dangerous or less understood, or
more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
